they've certainly botched things since the election. they are in great danger if they continue to look the way they're looking, numbers going down and losing the house. >> there could be opportunity, too, as well. we'll go to that. one other thought on the speech and then we'll move forward what else happened yesterday that pertains to this. david ignatius writes in the "washington post," a flat partisan and pedestrian speech. the only voice that really soared at midday was beyonce's while singing the national anthem. president obama's second inaugural address by contrast was flat, partisan, and surprisingly pedestrian, more a laundry list of preferred political programs than a vision for a divided america and a d disoriented world. maybe obama has a strategic vision for the second term but all i heard today was a rallying cry to his supporters as they prepare for the political fights ahead. later on in the morning, he was criticized for not reaching across the aisle enough in his speech. president obama made an attempt to reach out to

the president won the election. and he laid out a program and a philosophy, and he won the election on it. and i think as long as republicans are going to take the stance that he didn't win and that, in fact, they won and therefore they get to do things their way, i don't think -- i don't see how that's going to help them get out of that 14% hole. >> eugene, nbc.com had a very interesting way of putting it this morning, a very nice tag which is that what the electorate is looking for right now is not so much hope but a president who can cope. it's all about coping, not so much hoping. do you think that this kind of poll suggests that he is going to be able to deliver on that message of coping? >> well, you know, first of all, i think that's right. i think that, you know, the whole atmosphere around the second inauguration, it's just different, right? four years ago, there was a sense of moment, a sense of history and enormous anticipation. and now with any second inauguration, a lot of that is missing and really peo
